When it comes to Microsoft's Surface and Surface Pro tablets, the Redmond, Washington-based company hasn't exactly had a hit on its hands. One might say that a lack of storage space isn't the primary reason for consumer's apprehension of Surface, but that isn't stopping Microsoft from making available an even more expensive version for the U.S. market.

According to Windows Phone Central, the increase in storage capacity is the only change this time around, so those hoping to score a Surface Pro with Haswell power will have to wait until a refresh comes along.

Not a terrible person, just a fool. And as the saying goes, a fool and his money are easily parted. Microsoft is awfully proud of this gadget to demand $1100 for it. Too bad consumers will never buy into it. It'll end up in the forgotten products rubbish bin of yesteryear, just like Zune and Kin and Windows Phones.
